DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus for producing a so-called rice ball sandwich, in which an ingredient larger than both rice bodies is interposed between upper and lower rice bodies.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At present, there has been proposed a diaper sandwich food in which ingredients are interposed substantially over the entire surface between the lower rice body and the upper rice body, and respond to a large demand for the diaper sand. Therefore, the automation of the manufacturing method and the apparatus has been advanced.

[0003] Conventionally, a method for producing a rice ball sand is a method of producing only a single turntable forming die. A method of manufacturing using only a mold transferred by a transfer mechanism. A method of manufacturing with two turntables in each mold. It has been known.

In the above-mentioned manufacturing method, a predetermined amount of cooked rice is supplied into a molding die, and the rice is pressed in the molding die to form a lower rice body. After supplying the rice, the cooked rice is supplied onto the ingredients in the molding die, and these are pressed together to form the upper rice body integrally with the lower rice body and the ingredients to produce the rice ball sand.

[0005] On the other hand, in the above-mentioned production method, a rice ball sand is produced by separately forming a lower rice body and a upper rice body by using separate molds, placing the ingredients on the lower rice body, and combining the upper rice body. Is what you do.

By the way, at present, as shown in FIG. 8, for example, a lower rice body a and an upper rice body b which are triangular and of the same size.
In between, a large circular component c previously formed into a circle is interposed and integrated, so that the peripheral part d of the circular component c protrudes from both sides of the upper and lower rice bodies a and b to add value. A rice ball sandwich e with high nutritional value and commercial value has been proposed. In FIG. 9, f indicates a laver sheet.

[0007]

However, in order to manufacture the above-mentioned rice ball sand by each of the above-described conventional methods and apparatuses, the ingredients must be manually placed on the upper surface of the lower rice body. It is difficult to accurately place the on the predetermined position, every time the position to be placed is shifted,
On both sides of the upper and lower rice bodies, the protruding amounts of the ingredients are different, and the shape of the rice ball sand tends to vary, making it difficult to obtain a regular rice ball sand, resulting in a reduction in commercial value. .

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and a lower rice body and a upper rice body are separately formed by separate molding dies. A molding die for transferring the body from the molding die and transporting it to the molding die of the rice cooker, and a mounting recess for positioning the ingredients on the upper portion of the molding die are connected to each other. To provide a diaper sand production apparatus that can easily and efficiently produce a high-quality diaper sand having a certain hardness and shape by being able to easily and accurately supply the position and orientation of the diaper sand. Aim.

[0009]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, an apparatus for manufacturing rice ball sand according to the present invention comprises a first molding die having a plurality of first molding dies provided at a constant interval in a circumferential direction.
A turntable, a second turntable provided with a plurality of second forming dies, and a third turntable provided with a plurality of third forming dies, each including at least one first forming die, a second forming die, The second molding die and the third molding die are pivotally supported in respective vertical arrangements so as to communicate with each other in the vertical direction.
Above the turntable, there is provided a rice feeding mechanism for feeding rice for a lower rice body into the first mold, while a third rice feeding mechanism is provided.
An apparatus for manufacturing rice ball sandwich, comprising a rice rice supply mechanism for supplying rice for use in the third molding die above the turntable, wherein each second molding die of the second turntable is provided. The upper part is larger than the second mold,
The present invention is characterized in that mounting recesses for positioning the same-shaped material corresponding to the materials are continuously provided.

[0010]

The rice in the rice hopper is scraped out while being loosened by a stirring bar, a predetermined amount of rice is supplied into each of the first and third preforming dies by each rice supply mechanism, and the rice is fed into a predetermined shape by a press head. Preformed into

[0011] The cooked rice in the first preforming die is extruded downward by a press head, and is pushed into the first forming die of the first turntable and pressed to form a lower rice body.

On the other hand, the cooked rice of the second preforming mold is extruded downward by the press head, pushed into the third molding die of the third turntable, and pressed to form a rice body. The lower rice body and the upper rice body have the same amount of cooked rice and are formed into the same shape (triangle).

In the upper part of the second molding die of the second turntable, the material is accurately supplied and placed in a predetermined position and in a predetermined direction in the material positioning recess for positioning the material.

The first turntable is intermittently rotated in a predetermined direction at a predetermined angle unit. When the lower rice body is rotated and conveyed to a predetermined position, the first turntable is pushed upward by a press head and removed from the mold. Into the second mold of the second turntable which is intermittently rotated at At this time, since the ingredients are pressed downward by the ingredient pressing mechanism above the first turntable, the ingredients are bonded to the upper surface of the lower rice body.
The first turntable and the second turntable are further intermittently rotated in the same direction, and the roasted body with ingredients is conveyed in rotation.

On the other hand, the third turntable is intermittently rotated by a predetermined angle in the direction opposite to the first turntable. The third turntable has a third forming die and the second turntable has a second forming die. Are provided so as to coincide with each other in the vertical direction at a predetermined position, so that when the second and third molding dies coincide, the rice body is pressed down by the press head to be released downward from the third molding die. By being pressed against the upper surface of the ingredients on the lower rice body in the second mold, the lower rice body and the ingredients and the upper rice body are united in the second molding die and the interior of the ingredient placement recess. A diaper sandwich is produced in which the ingredients are evenly protruded from both sides of the rice bodies.

When the second molding die comes to a predetermined position due to the intermittent rotation of the second turntable, the push-up head operates to push the rice sand upward from the second molding die and remove the rice sand. In the case of wrapping with a sheet, the removed diaper sand is gripped by the transfer mechanism, rotated and conveyed to the laver packaging mechanism, and wrapped with the laver sheet.
